1,000,000,000 (alternately known as one thousand million and one billion, see below) is the natural number following 999,999,999 and preceding 1,000,000,001.

In scientific notation, it is written as 109.

In modern ('short scale') English language usage, it is usually called a billion (although in many other languages and 'long scale' usage, a billion means a million millions (or 1,000,000,000,000), instead of a thousand millions).

The term milliard can also be used to refer to 1,000,000,000, though this terminology is rarely used in the English language, but often in other languages.

Physical quantities can be expressed using the SI prefix giga.

See Orders of magnitude (numbers) for larger numbers; and long and short scales.

Sense of scale

The facts below give a sense of how large 1,000,000,000 (109) is in the context of time:
  • 109 seconds is about 31 years.
  • About 109 minutes ago, the Roman Empire was flourishing. (109 minutes is roughly 1,900 years.)
  • About 109 hours ago, modern human beings and their ancestors were living in the Stone Age (more precisely, the Middle Paleolithic). (109 hours is roughly 114,000 years.)
  • About 109 days ago, Australopithecus, an ape-like creature related to an ancestor of modern humans, roamed the African savannas. (109 days is roughly 2.7 million years.)
  • About 109 months ago, dinosaurs walked the earth during the late Cretaceous. (109 months is roughly 82 million years.)
  • About 109 years ago, the first multicellular organisms appeared on Earth.
  • The universe is currently thought to be about 13.7 × 109 years old.
In terms of distance:
  • 109 centimetres is about the distance from Chicago, Illinois to Tokyo.
  • 109 inches is 15,783 miles, more than halfway around the world and sufficient to reach any point on the globe from any other point.
  • 109 metres is almost three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
  • 109 kilometres is over six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
In terms of finance: In terms of count:

A is a cube; B consists of 1000 cubes of type A. C consists of 1000 Bs; and D 1000 Cs. Thus there are 1 million As in C; and 1,000,000,000 As in D. Likewise, there are 1,000,000,000 cubic millimeters in a cubic meter.
